1 Now Pe­ter and John went up to­geth­er into the tem­ple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2 And a cer­tain man lame from his mother's womb was car­ried, whom they laid dai­ly at the gate of the tem­ple which is called Beau­ti­ful, to ask alms of them that en­tered into the tem­ple; 3 Who see­ing Pe­ter and John about to go into the tem­ple asked an alms. 4 And Pe­ter, fas­ten­ing his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5 And he gave heed unto them, ex­pect­ing to re­ceive some­thing of them. 6 Then Pe­ter said, Sil­ver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Je­sus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lift­ed him up: and im­me­di­ate­ly his feet and an­kle bones re­ceived strength. 8 And he leap­ing up stood, and walked, and en­tered with them into the tem­ple, walk­ing, and leap­ing, and prais­ing God. 9 And all the peo­ple saw him walk­ing and prais­ing God: 10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beau­ti­ful gate of the tem­ple: and they were filled with won­der and amaze­ment at that which had hap­pened unto him. 11 And as the lame man which was healed held Pe­ter and John, all the peo­ple ran to­geth­er unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, great­ly won­der­ing. 12 And when Pe­ter saw it, he an­swered unto the peo­ple, Ye men of Is­rael, why mar­vel ye at this? or why look ye so earnest­ly on us, as though by our own pow­er or ho­li­ness we had made this man to walk? 13 The God of Abra­ham, and of Isaac, and of Ja­cob, the God of our fa­thers, hath glo­ri­fied his Son Je­sus; whom ye de­liv­ered up, and de­nied him in the pres­ence of Pi­late, when he was de­ter­mined to let him go. 14 But ye de­nied the Holy One and the Just, and de­sired a mur­der­er to be grant­ed unto you; 15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; where­of we are wit­ness­es. 16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath giv­en him this per­fect sound­ness in the pres­ence of you all. 17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ig­no­rance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 18 But those things, which God be­fore had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suf­fer, he hath so ful­filled. 19 Re­pent ye there­fore, and be con­vert­ed, that your sins may be blot­ted out, when the times of re­fresh­ing shall come from the pres­ence of the Lord; 20 And he shall send Je­sus Christ, which be­fore was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heav­en must re­ceive un­til the times of resti­tu­tion of all things, which God hath spo­ken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world be­gan. 22 For Moses tru­ly said unto the fa­thers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things what­so­ev­er he shall say unto you. 23 And it shall come to pass, that ev­ery soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be de­stroyed from among the peo­ple. 24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that fol­low af­ter, as many as have spo­ken, have like­wise fore­told of these days. 25 Ye are the chil­dren of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fa­thers, say­ing unto Abra­ham, And in thy seed shall all the kin­dreds of the earth be blessed. 26 Unto you first God, hav­ing raised up his Son Je­sus, sent him to bless you, in turn­ing away ev­ery one of you from his in­iq­ui­ties.
